All right, who is ready for the Jayhawks to done with these games on the Jayhawk Network? It is a shame that if Kansas fans are not Time Warner or WOW customers, they don’t matter. If you live in Kansas or Western Missouri, this game will be blacked out on line.
If you do not subscribe to one of those two services, you won’t get the game on television. If you do subscribe to one of those services, you can watch the game on TV, and if you live out of area, you can stream the game on ESPN3. If you live in area, and don’t subscribe to those cable services, you will not get the game or the Kansas Jayhawks basketball live stream against the Kent State Golden Flashes.

The Golden Flashes are led in scoring by Jimmy Hall (13.7 a game). Devareaux Manley (11.7), Kris Brewer (10.8), and Derek Jackson (10.1) join him. Hall also leads the team in rebounds with 7.6 an outing. Brewer paces the team in assists with 3.3 per contest.
The Jayhawks, who are coming off an awful 25-point drubbing at Temple last week, are still led in scoring, somehow, by Perry Ellis. The junior forward is averaging 12.5 a game despite scoring nine total in his last two games. Frank Mason adds 11.7 to the cause.
Perry Ellis and Wayne Selden (9.1 points per game) both have struggled with inconsistency and poor play. The latter has scored more than 12 points just once, and scored eight or less five times.
Ellis has scored in double digits eight times, but in the three games he didn’t, he only tallied 13 total points. These numbers are not what you want from your team leaders. Maybe it is time for Jayhawk fans to understand these guys aren’t good enough to be stars, but just role players.
The Jayhawks continue to struggle shooting the ball inside the three-point line. While Kansas is hitting a very respectable 39.2% for behind the arc (third in the Big 12), they are shooting just 42.7% from two-point range.
Kansas is dead last in the Big 12 Conference in shooting percentage at 41.7%. Maybe they should just chuck every shot from three, except for uncontested layups. Not dunks, mind you, as this team evidently can’t, or doesn’t know how to, dunk.
Hopefully, the extra practice time will allow the Kansas Jayhawks to improve in most areas. Hopefully, they will play with more heart and desire going forward than they did in their two losses.
Kansas is 9-2 but will need to play much better than they have to this point if they hope to win another conference championship.
